Einhard

(also Eginhard). Born circa 770, in Maingau; died Mar. 14, 840, in Seligenstadt. A figure in the Carolingian renaissance; friend and adviser to Charlemagne.

Einhard was educated in the monastery at Fulda. At the court of Charlemagne he won recognition for his knowledge of science and the arts, and he became an active member of the Academy. He supervised the construction of the cathedral at Aachen and the royal palace at Ingelheim. The Vita Caroli Magni (Life of Charlemagne) written by Einhard in Latin after Charlemagne’s death enjoyed wide popularity in the Middle Ages. The work contains a great deal of factual information, but owing to his adulation of Charlemagne, Einhard distorted his accounts of the emperor’s foreign policy and wars. Some of Einhard’s religious works and more than 60 of his letters have been preserved.
